Single action - Ruger Single Six
Double action - Smith and Wesson

Don't waste your valuable time and money on anything else.

many fine choices, choosing one depends on what exactly you want [ie: sa or da] and your price range.
sa: herritage rough rider 22 combo $200, made in usa. my first pistol, very reliable, accurate, 6.5" is perfectly balanced.
if you can afford the ruger than get it.
da: very little personal experience with any .22 da wheelgun.

I have a Ruger Single Six with 22mag and 22 lr cylinders. Great shooter and indestructible.

I've had an old model 3 screw single six in 22mag for years and never had a problem with it. Get one and it will last forever. Best regards Dick

There are some alright double action .22 mag revolvers,but they are usually expensive.The Ruger single six convertible 22LR/22Mag is less expensive and tougher,you could throw it against a tree with no issues,solid gun.Plus I know you'll appreciate the 22LR cylinder that it comes with since the ammo is 80% cheaper than the mags.
